Answer:

c= 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve

a^2+b^2 = c^2

Where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

The legs are the pieces that touch the right angles

8^2+ 6^2 = c^2

64+36 = c^2

100 =c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(100) = sqrt(c^2)

10 =c

Half a number plus 5 is 11.What is the number?

SOVA2 [1]

<h3>Solution :</h3>

<u>Let x be the number</u>

$\small\bold\red{→}\small\bold{(\frac{1}{2} )x + 5 = 11}$

$\small\bold\red{→}\small\bold{(\frac{1}{2})x + 5 - 5 = 11 - 5}$

$\small\bold\red{→}\small\bold{(\frac{1}{2})x = 6}$

$\small\bold\red{→}\small\bold{2 × (\frac{1}{2})x = 6 × 2 }$

$\small\bold\red{→}\small\bold{x = 12}$

Answer: The probability that the fruit is an orange or a pear is $\dfrac{1}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Emily has 12 fruits in her bowl.

She has 3 apples, 5 bananas, 1 pear and 3 oranges.

A fruit is selected at random.

P(orange) = $\dfrac{\text{Number of oranges}}{\text{Total fruits}}$

$=\dfrac{3}{12}$

P(pear)= $\dfrac{\text{Number of pears}}{\text{Total fruits}}$

$=\dfrac{1}{12}$

Since both events of selecting orange and pear are mutually exclusive , so

The probability that the fruit is an orange or a pear = P(orange) + P(pear)

$=\dfrac{3}{12}+\dfrac{1}{12}=\dfrac{4}{12}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Therefore , the probability that the fruit is an orange or a pear is $\dfrac{1}{3}$ .
